Kiwanis seeks to restart Cedar City club; fire department invites council to Life Safety Week
Summary
A district Kiwanis representative asked council help to reestablish a Cedar City Kiwanis Club, and Cedar City Fire Department staff invited council to Life Safety Week that will host about 800 elementary students. Speakers offered schedules and outreach plans.
A visiting representative from Kiwanis International asked Cedar City Council on March 12, 2025 to support efforts to reestablish a local Kiwanis Club. Debbie Irish, identified as governor of the Utah-Idaho Kiwanis district, said district volunteers were in town to help set up a club that focuses on children and works with schools on leadership programs.
Irish told the council the organization aims to "improve the lives of kids all over the world, 1 child, 1 community at a time," and said Kiwanis works closely with schools for youth leadership activities. She said she was in town to help set up the new club and offered to take questions and share information with council members.
Greg Orlowski of the Cedar City Fire Department invited council members to Life Safety Week, scheduled for the week of April 21 with core events around April 25–26. Orlowski said the event will involve police, fire, EMS, dispatch and the Bureau of Land Management, and that "we're gonna have over 800 children this year from all the Iron County elementary schools plus homeschools." He offered to provide schedules and passouts to council staff.
Council members responded appreciatively and discussed which schools and days would fit individual schedules; no formal council action or funding decision was recorded during the presentation.
